Why should you become a fool?
Accessible application process: no donation or financial contributions are required to join our board. Instead we ask members to donate their time and passion to help our organization grow.
Make a positive change in an Ottawa Theatrical Institution: now in our 30th year, we reach over 10,000 patrons and employ up to 20 artists and administrators a year. With your help we can continue to do so for another 30 years.
Professional Development Opportunities: each year we offer a modest budget for board members to undertake professional development opportunities that relate to their involvement with the organization.
I want to be a Fool!
Awesome! We’d be more than happy to chat with you further about getting involved in our organization.
Send your resume and a brief note about why you’d like to join our board to our Board Chair, Kathryn McLaren.
